I'm a tech guy so I love the right tool for the job and invest in my tools
Some one was asking why I've got 1 big tool box completely full of floats and trowels, I said because I need the right tool for the job. He seemed bemused that I had magnesium floats, radius ing floats, joint cutters, hard wood float, steel concrete float steel plastering floats and then 5 or 6 finger trowels etc
Have to admire the way the North Americans do it, having spent 5 weeks there last year I need to upload all the geeky photos i took inc the bad stuff hehe

no white, if I can find the pack do you want some as well. Or does white not fit in with your outfit/corporate colour scheme.

only a bit banter with you! Trouble is and it can be quite hard to get off, a blue mark might standard out a bit more than a faded white one.

I had to buy them in pack of ten. I have already given one away. That leaves nine I had two in use and I stored the others somewhere safe. Now somewhere safe is in here
and right now I can't find them.
As a man of my word though DN you can have the two I started using, royal mail should have them with you somewhen!!!

the barbecue was a wedding gift from almost 7 years ago, which was waiting for the patio to be done before it could be used. the mess represented here, I thinking is similar to the mess that is my life.

I use a mixture of paver markers or cut up strips off a GRP meter box door as they work just as well, always white as it shows up more on most blocks bar argent light which I then use the blue marker, like everything its personal choice

I prefer the blue markers. Last lot I got were from Probst and were white. Still good, but the blue shows up better.
What we do is cut them in half long ways. Then I give one half to my labourer and one half for me. They are easier to use when they are thinner
Always seem to lose them though. Then weeks later they turn up in the washing machine !!

Now that sounds familiar, if I can't find any, look on top of the washer!
